Replaced fuel Inj

I replaced my fuel inj with some rebuilt 50 dollar ones. Now its hard to start, go to crank it for 4 seconds before it starts. Before it started in about 1 second.

Anything I should check?

Why did you replace the injectors?
Why did you use cheap rebuilt parts?

It was all i can afford.

When i pulled the old injectors out i broke all the pintel caps. Cannot buy just the pintel caps. Thats why i had to buy the whole dam thing. The rebuilt ones have a better warranty then the dealer ones.

The rebuilds do have them. I tried using my old ones without the pintel caps, and what ends up happening is the lower smaller o-ring slips down (because the pintel cap is gone) and starts to leak gas into the cylinder.
